Why I built patron.photo
I created patron.photo because I craved a better way to share my own work—not as another post that disappears, but as photography that can live in a room.
The problem
I print photographs and hang them at home. I love seeing them that way, but wall space is scarce—and I do not want to throw away good prints every few weeks just to make room for something new.
So the same photographs stay on the wall. Meanwhile I keep making new work, and too much of it remains unseen on a hard drive or inside my computer.
The archive grows. The wall barely changes. That gap is why patron.photo exists.
The idea
FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
Display your photography on your own iPad, smart TV, laptop, or monitor. Keep adding new work without taking an old favorite off the wall. Share it with other people who choose to watch, always with your name attached.
FOR PHOTOGRAPHY LOVERS
Live with a rotation of real photography instead of choosing one image forever. Pause when something moves you, discover who made it, and meet photographers whose work you might never have found otherwise.
A living home for photography
The photographs remain owned by their creators. patron.photo simply gives the work another place to live.
